This was a quick and fun Christmas activity we did yesterday during the snowstorm❄️ we had here. I took a bunch of cardboard tubes and Christmas baubles (remember to use the shatterproof kid friendly kind) and we started building. The best part was knocking them down. Then repeat!
Need more quick ideas for activities this Christmas? There are tons on the blog (link in profile). Plus I have them all organized on Pinterest, you can 📌pin them for later!

We had a visit from a Christmas crab. Check out my stories for more. I’m not sure why he was hanging out on a tree as he is a land crab, but he was beautiful dressed in blue!! #landcrab#bluecrab#crab#lookwhatmygodcreated

Did you know that you can download the Nature Notebook of one of the students at Charlotte Mason's House of Education on my website?
The link is in my bio, and it's free.

A sweet Christmas book, a little bit of notebook work, hot chocolate and some tree garland to start off our week.
If you are interested in how we use #notebooking in our homeschool I am adding a link in my profile to a blog post I wrote for @thepeacefulpress on how we incorporate this dynamic activity into our curriculum.
🎄✨
And as a side note: we are working hard to try and get back on track around here as many things are pulling our family in different directions at the moment. I’m so thankful for the homeschool life that allows us to be flexible and put our focus where it most needs to be directed. #homeschoollife

A #carschooling type of day. We had so many errands to run! We spend the whole morning running between government entities and listening to #wowintheworld and reviewing math facts in the car. I love that school can happen anywhere. We are totally caught up so comment with your favorite kid podcasts below!

Why didn’t I have @mathusee growing up? I love how fast he gets the math concepts that took me years to learn! (that’s if I ever did🤔😭) I was never good at math NEVER, and if you remember about me mentioning the part about homeschooling my children and teaching reading, you have no idea how big of a challenge I faced when it came to math, but I love, I mean, I ABSOLUTELY love this curriculum. I’m proud to say I’m learning alongside my child🙌🏼🤓 #nevertooldtolearn#proudofus#hoorayforgreatcurriculums#homeeducation#thisisablessing

Today was for the birds. 🦅 We studied about winter birds in our area, put together a bird puzzle, read bird books, and made bird feeders! We’ve had a slow day and didn’t make it to painting the birds. Maybe tomorrow.

Language has taken me many places. And although one thing travel has ironically taught me is an immense appreciation for family, community, and putting down roots, it has also taught me how to foster strong connections when there's so much against me. When I'm somewhere new and unfamiliar, I may not know much of the culture, the places, the food, or even the people. But when you know the language, you have a key to all of those mysterious, yet exciting, doors.

Next term we are joining up with some friends to do a book club. The kids will be reading this book and doing project based learning. Any ideas very much welcome-particularly for upper ks2 and ks3 level students 😃👍 xxx

The busiest of all busy images on here because that's my Christmas head right now - absolutely full of everything still to do, fear of that which won't get done and hoping we will all get to put the Merry into it!! Please tell me I'm not the only one!!
